makes thick, yellow cream turn into fra
grant butter through the medium Of q
dainty silver churn, has also much to in

with tiles presented to the prince, and
which he had placed here as a surprise FOR
his royal dairymaid These tiles were
made in Bombay and are of peculiar
peacock blue, in which the rose, the sham
rock, the thistle and the motto sIch Diem
are ingeniously intertwined.
Round the room runs q white marble
counter covered with silver pans porcelain
lined and bearing the plumes and princes

coated milk from the sweet breathed AL

Broad bracket shelves of marble held
numerous COWS, bullocls and calves of
different sizes and every imaginable ma
terial, including italian and Partisan
marble, alabaster, china, terra Gotta and
silver, all gifts. a long milk jug, painted
by the Princess Louise to match the In
